We left Vegas at 10h00 this morning.Loaded up the TA bus and most of us wearing sun glasses and more than a little bleary eyed, especially those that had been at the Karaoke bar 'til early morning!!En route we stopped at a town called Seligman and had lunch at a quirky little store called Snowcap Café - check out their website!!www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/101!!Really great little place in the middle of now where.Most of us ordered a Cheese burgers with Cheese!!!Took crazy photos around the yard and next to the Route 66 sign, and were off again.We arrived at our next destination, Flagstaff, at around 4.30pm that afternoon, again after a long days driving.Our hostel for the night was called Du Beauwww.grandcanyonhostel.com and it was GREAT!!!If you owned ear plugs!!!The train line ran through the town and the track was 2 roads up from where the hostel was located ~ not that that made any difference, because a train came through the town approximately every 15 - 20 minutes and blew its horn for around 5 minutes ~ this literally went on for 24 hours!!!!Lucky me I had ear plugs!!!But the others!!!Oh dear!!!Anyway such is life on tour, right??The girls were in one room, with 4 bunk beds and one shower!!!Dan & Maxine had their own room which was ensuite, so they offered their shower to anyone who wanted it.Wayne took us to a supermarket so we could stock up on water and energy bars etc for our hike the next day to the Grand Canyon.We met up at the hostel again at around 6pm and took a walk through town where we stopped for dinner at Charlie's restaurant in the Wetherford Hotel.Another great gathering of the group and another great group photo!!We headed back to the hostel after dinner, and I decided to take Dan & Maxine up on their offer to use their shower.I headed back to the room, and collected my shower bag and PJ's.I walked down the passage to their room, and saw that they had left their door ajar, so I went into the bathroom and started to get undressed to take a shower.I heard someone come into the room, so I yelled out "Hi guys, it's only me" and opened the door to see I was in the wrong room!!!OMG!!!Hilariously embarrassing!!!I had gone into Wayne's room instead!!!Turning the brightest shade of red, I put my clothes back on and gathered up my things - Wayne insisted it was fine and to just make sure he had a towel, but I couldn't take a shower in the group leader's shower, so I moved on to Dan & Maxine's room - 2 doors down!!!Still bright red from the embarrassment!!!The girls had a real giggle at my mishap when I returned to the room after my shower and relayed what had happened.We were in bed by 11pm that night, looking forward to the next day and the Grand Canyon.
